In launching this book Deakin University's Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research) described it as an accomplished memoir which evokes the history of many people's experiences of growing up in Australia in the 1960s and 1970s.

In celebrating recollections of Hobart and its nurturing, spiritual heart, the Derwent River, this book has contributed to discussions of the importance of place, of local areas in determining people’s identities and attachments; dilemmas of population decline, and environment versus development, as shown by the experience of Tasmania; the considerable affection which members of the large Tasmanian diaspora have for their home state; and the problems of continuing concentration of Australia’s population growth in existing very large cities like Melbourne and Sydney.
